Dog Life Jackets Are A Smart Precaution
Posted by admin in Pets and Animals, Uncategorized on June 9th, 2009
All dogs love the water and are great swimmers, right? Not necessarily. There are certain breeds that have more difficulty than others. For example, very lean breeds such as Dobermans or Boxers don’t have much natural flotation, so they have to work extra hard to stay afloat. Also, very cold waters can affect a dog just like it affects humans and the risk of hypothermia is very real. And anyone familiar with the water, whether it be lakes, rivers or oceans, knows that conditions can change quickly and there can always be unexpected storms, waves, currents etc. A dog life jacket can be a real life saver.
Given all the potential problems around the water, why put your dog at unnecessary risk? If you’re boating, you make sure all passengers have a life jacket, donn’t you (I hope so!) So why not do the same thing for your dog? As mom always said, “better safe than sorry!”
